Ju-88A Wr 0746 1 (F) /120 Faroe Crash

[ISLANDER]

Hello,

I am trying to confirm the correct names of the crew of the above Ju-88 crash at Lokki, Faroe Isles on 18th August 1941. according to one source I have:

Oblt : Walter Budden.
Lt : Bodo Moller.
Uffz: Herbert Schlichting.
Fw: Adolf Kuhne.

But another source says:

Oblt: Walter Budden.
Lt : Moeller.
Uffz: Herbert Schlichting.
LG: Adolph Bold

can anyone confirm correct spellings etc of those in red lettering ?

Also does anyone have a photo of any of these airmen? And/ Or know where they are buried? All died on the mountain on Faroe Isles.

Many Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Dave.

They are buried in Grove/Denmark.

Hi John,

Never expected a reply quite so quickly.

I am very grateful for all your help and the dates & places of birth are a real bonus.

Thanks again!

Hi,
... found this on Islandaircrashes website:

64/ JU-88A Wr 7172 - 25/12/40 - ORKNEY.

Searching known Ju 88 losses on that date I found this:

W.Nr. 535 Ju 88 A-5 F 4N+AL 3.(F)/22 (Luftflotte 5)
OPS (F) mis (100%) unk location (Scapa-Flow) belived shot down by <enemy> fighters [was hit in one engine by two RN/FAA Grumman Martlet Mk.I fighters of 804 SQ (flown by Lt. L.V. Carter and Sub/Lt. Parke, off from Hatston) and crash landed in bog near Loch Skail] 25.12.1940 (F Lt. Karl Schipp, B Fw. Heinr. Schreiber, BF Uffz. Joh. Spörtl and BS Obgefr. Karl Rotter mis)(rep as Ju 88 F 535 in losses) [see Barrett Tillman: ´Wildcat Aces of World War 2´ P.69 {in Osprey Aircraft of the Aces No. 3.} ; likely first Ju 88 downed by American made fighter]

I belive this is the same?
